Orvieto

Orvieto is a city in southwestern Umbria, Italy. The city was annexed by the Roman Republic in the third century BC, and it would later be held by the Goths and Lombards before becoming a self-governed commune during the tenth century. Orvieto's relationship with the Papal States was very friendly, and it was typically led by a Bishop and a military governor. Orvieto soon became a part of the Papal States, and it remained so until 1860, when it became a part of a reunified Italy. In 2008, Orvieto had a population of 21,043 people.
